Hello once again!
It’s already December and we will be ringing in the New Year in about 3 weeks. And as of today, Aariz is already 6 weeks old. My oh my, time certainly flies!
Mum left last week after spending a whole month in Dublin with us. She was of great help during the early weeks when I needed her most and my brothers were here too to drive us around & accompany mum. There were some days I wished my father was around to witness the birth of my new baby, had he been here, I am sure he would have been so proud of Aariz. He had hoped that my second born would be a boy but unfortunately he never made it to the day to see his grandson. Allah has greater plans for him and such is the circle of life, we will all return to the Almighty one day. Aariz’s birth has indirectly helped a lot in easing the deep pain of losing a loved one and inspired me to keep on living for his future.
Aariz is growing well and healthy despite suffering from episodic bouts of colic. On some occasions, he has left me sleep deprived with his excessive cries but I was lucky to have mum around to give me a hand, otherwise I know I wouldn’t have coped. I have also tried most remedies on the market, some have worked and some have not but I believe it would be just a matter of time before things start to improve. It’s funny how I used to help other mums and now my own baby has colic!
The daddy is also strictly training Aariz just like he did with Aidan. This book has been our bible and we hope to achieve success in a couple of weeks. I could really do with some proper sleep.
The two brothers are also getting along well now. There was a period whereby Aidan threw tantrums out of frustration for 3 whole days! I think the whole big brother experience became too overwhelming for him that he could not control his emotions. So screaming was his only outlet.
But alhamdulillah now, his meltdowns are much less and under control. Aidan has come to realise that he will be stuck with Aariz forever. Yes Aidan, you are brothers for life!
And did I ever mention how difficult it is to ferry a toddler and a newborn in the middle of winter? I get exhausted trying to bundle the two of them even before leaving the house! We have since ditched our single stroller and bought a tandem. Hubby keeps calling it a tank due to the sheer size of it. LOL
As for me, I am feeling slightly more energetic although not entirely 100%. Looking at the mirror, I still look like I haven’t given birth but the weighing scale is telling me otherwise. Suprisingly, I am now 1kg short of my pre-pregnancy weight. For some reason, I am not excited over the loss as I would love to shed an extra 4kg!
So that’s my life in a nutshell. My energy nowadays is 100% focused on the kids that I find it hard to blog at the end of the day. But I promise to write here on the good days when I have something interesting to tell.
I will be right back folks. Good night!
ps: Thank you for all your lovely
